Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a procedure performed to correct conditions of the jaw and face related to structure, growth, sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, malocclusion problems owing to skeletal disharmonies, or other orthodontic problems that cannot be easily treated with braces. With an internationally acclaimed healthcare system, Thailand has become a leading destination for people seeking high-quality yet affordable orthognathic surgery.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
Orthognathic surgery involves the surgical manipulation of the elements of the facial skeleton to restore the proper anatomic and functional relationship in patients with dentofacial skeletal anomalies. The surgery might include modifying the mandible (lower jaw), maxilla (upper jaw), or both. It's generally performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in collaboration with an orthodontist.
Ideal candidates for orthognathic surgery include individuals with an improper bite, or jaws that are positioned incorrectly. This surgery can also improve issues like chronic mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and facial appearance, thereby enhancing overall quality of life.
Prior to orthognathic surgery, most patients undergo orthodontic treatment to align the teeth and prepare the mouth for the adjustment of the jaws. During this phase, you will have regular appointments with your orthodontist, who will make necessary adjustments to your braces.
When considering orthognathic surgery in Thailand, it is crucial to select a medical facility that has a team of experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists. They should possess a comprehensive understanding of the aesthetic and functional aspects of the facial skeletal structures.
During the surgery, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon makes cuts in the jawbones and moves them into the correct position. Once the jaw movement is completed, tiny bone plates, screws, wires, or rubber bands may be used to secure the bones into their new position.
This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours depending on the complexity of the condition and the type of surgery required.
Following surgery, patients typically spend a few days in the hospital. Swelling, discomfort, and bruising around the face and jaws are common. A liquid or soft food diet might be required for several weeks, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided.
Post-surgery, patients usually need to stay in Thailand for at least two to three weeks, as this is when the first follow-up appointments are scheduled. It's important to note that full recovery and the final result of the surgery might take several months to a year.
In Thailand, the cost of orthognathic surgery can range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure. This price is significantly lower compared to many Western countries, making it an affordable choice for many patients seeking treatment.

Orthognathic surgery typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000 in Thailand, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the specifics of each case.
The initial recovery period from orthognathic surgery can take 3-6 weeks, and complete healing can take up to 9-12 months.
It's usually safe to fly 2-3 weeks after orthognathic surgery, but a longer stay may be required for post-operative checks and to ensure everything is healing as expected.
Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.
Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.
The service has been great facilitating and making arrangements for my procedure. They are very quick with responses and answering questions.
Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.
This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.
Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.
If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.
The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)
I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
I am recommended by one of my friends in Bangkok that eye surgery at LASIK hospital is excellently and exceptionally done. With his recommendation, I approached Konkai who were quick to respond to my questions and give appointment date.
